ADOPT A LION

KING

King is a young lion who was rescued from an apartment on the outskirts of Paris where he was being kept illegally as an ‘exotic pet’ in a small, dirty cage. King now lives at our big cat rescue centre at Shamwari Private Game Reserve, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where he enjoys a life free from harm in a natural, safe and spacious enclosure. By adopting King, you will help fund his lifetime care – food, veterinary care and enclosure upkeep.

DOLO

Dolo was kept on a one metre chain in a wooden shack. Emaciated and alone, his mane was rubbed off by the chain. Dolo was rescued and now lives at Born Free’s rescue centre in Ethiopia. Your adoption will help ensure he gets the food and care he needs.

SINBAD AND ACHEE

Sinbad is half the size of a normal lion. He was rescued from a cramped cage in a Romanian zoo and now lives at our big cat rescue centre at Shamwari Private Game Reserve, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. In 2015, Sinbad was introduced to Achee. She had been rescued from a car park in Romania in 2004. They now share a natural bush enclosure. Your adoption will help fund their lifetime care.

ELSA'S PRIDE

This pride of lions lives in Kenya’s Meru National Park, where Elsa the lioness from the book and movie Born Free was returned to the wild. Monitored by our Born Free Kenya field team, your adoption will help us to monitor and protect them.
